Life moves fast in Louisiana. Between school drop-offs, work meetings, weekend festivals and family dinners, you have a lot on your plate. When a sudden illness or minor injury pops up, it can feel like a major speed bump in your week. At LCMC Health Urgent Care, we believe that healthcare should help you get the most out of life, for the big moments, the small moments and every moment in between. Our goal is simple: keeping you well so you can live your best life. With urgent care in Greater New Orleans, we provide the quality care you need to get back to what matters most.

Convenient care right in your neighborhood

When you don’t feel well, the last thing you want to do is travel far for help. We understand that convenience is key to recovery. That is why we have established a network of clinics across the region to serve you better. Whether you live in New Orleans, Kenner, Chalmette, Elmwood or on the Westbank, you have access to compassionate medical professionals close to home.

Our clinics offer walk-in urgent care for those unexpected moments. Maybe you woke up with a sore throat, or perhaps your child twisted an ankle at soccer practice. You don’t need to stress about scheduling an appointment days in advance. You can simply walk through our doors and find a team ready to help you feel better.

Finding the best urgent care in Greater New Orleans

We know you have choices when it comes to your health. Choosing LCMC Health Urgent Care means choosing a provider that is connected to a larger family of care. We are part of the LCMC Health system, which includes eight hospitals and dozens of clinics. This connection ensures that if you need more specialized care, we can seamlessly guide you to the right experts.

We design our services to fit your busy schedule. Sickness rarely happens between nine and five, which is why we operate as an after-hours clinic with extended hours and weekend availability. You can get the care you need after work or on a Saturday morning without disrupting your entire routine.

Technology that respects your time

Waiting rooms are nobody’s favorite place. We use technology to make your visit as smooth and efficient as possible. We want you to spend less time waiting and more time recovering in the comfort of your own home.

One of our most popular features is online check-in at LCMC Health Urgent Care. This “Save Your Spot” tool allows you to choose an arrival time and complete your registration paperwork before you even leave your house.

It is important to note that these arrival times are not appointments and do not guarantee immediate service. Our medical team sees patients based on arrival time and medical urgency, so wait times may vary. However, this system significantly streamlines your check-in process.

We also offer virtual urgent care visits for those times when you can’t make it to the clinic or simply prefer to stay home. Through a secure video call, our providers can diagnose many common conditions and prescribe medication if necessary. It is quality care, when and where you need it, helping you skip the waiting room entirely.

Staying connected with MyChart

Your health journey shouldn’t be a puzzle. We use the MyChart Patient Portal to keep you connected across the entire LCMC Health system. After your visit to urgent care in Greater New Orleans, you can log in to view your visit summary and access test results.

MyChart also lets you:

  • View upcoming visits
  • Make bill payments
  • Request prescription refills
  • Update your personal information

This integration means your primary care doctor within the LCMC Health network can easily see the details of your urgent care visit, ensuring continuity of care that keeps you safe and healthy.

When to choose urgent care

Knowing where to go for care can save you time and money. Our urgent care centers are perfect for non-life-threatening issues. We provide same-day urgent care, no appointment needed, for conditions that need prompt attention but aren’t severe enough for the emergency room.

Visit us for:

  • Colds, flu and fevers
  • Minor cuts requiring stitches
  • Sprains and strains
  • Ear infections
  • UTIs
  • Rashes and minor burns

If you experience chest pain, severe difficulty breathing or major trauma, please call 9-1-1 or head to the nearest emergency room immediately. For everything else, our team is here to help.
